Miner soccer teams fall to Anderson down in Redding

The Yreka Miners girls and boys soccer teams both fell to league opponent Anderson in Redding Tuesday night at the Redding Sports Park.

Below is a recap of both games

Girls recap by head coach Brian Crowley.

"We started off slow, allowing Anderson to score two early goals in the first half. The rest of the game we had to fight to get back into the game. Kendell Nielsen scored a goal from a nice cross from Bailey Fisher midway through the second half. "

"That would be our only goal, though we had numerous chances to score we just could not put one in the back of the net. Kaitlyn Mechling played outstanding defense and several of our younger plays have made significant improvements like Casey Jackson, Bailey Fisher and Rossely Rodriguez."

The Lady Miners lost the game 2-1 to fall to 5-7-1 for the year.
